Smokey Robinson and The Miracles released this tune in ‘67 and it was re-released in ‘70 and went to number 1 on the charts; shoulda been there the first time cause this one is soooooo good.

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than the Tears Of A Clown
When there's no one around

It is Saturday night after all; a slightly different (and acceptable) rendition of a Hollies classic.

Had to hear some Bob Dylan on deck but Manfred Mann-style; there was some good tuneage floating around in 1979.

You Angel You
You're as fine as anything's fine
Though I just walk and I watch you talk
Your memory's on my mind

"An achingly beautiful powerhouse of a composition which would come to define not just this new guy who performs it, but become a big part of this decade itself." Read on...

Must be Friday night; one of the little influences on me to pursue a radio career once I graduated high school (the other Dr. Johnny Fever 😉)

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

Nice day for a road trip and maneuvering around and through road construction on U.S. Highway 51 southbound.

Friday nighty night jam: shortly after I first heard this tune (my favorite from these guys) on the radio ELO hosted “The Midnight Special” which, in 1977, aired late night Saturdays on NBC after “Saturday Night Live.” It’s kinda surreal seeing this again almost 50 years later.

I’m reminded of the disastrous second marriage when I hear this tune or ELO’s “Evil Woman.”
